Nintendo Switch Sports Resort Reviews
Nintendo's knockabout sports series returns for its most refined outing yet; charming, wonderfully considered, and it doesn't require a room full of friends to be fun.
While the quality of its sports varies drastically, Nintendo Switch Sports Resort is a fun and playful collection overall that shines as the party game it’s meant to be.
As someone who played the original Wii Sports when it first released, and was awed by the rudimentary real-life movements being mimicked on screen, Nintendo Switch Sports Resort allowed me to feel that all over again as an adult. And it’s a feeling best felt surrounded by friends.
As befits a casual game, Nintendo has pulled off something exceptionally difficult and made it look effortless. Nintendo Switch Sports Resort is a world in which enjoyment, discovery, challenge, and beauty seem to multiply the longer you spend with it.
Nintendo Switch Sports Resort is a triumphant, motion-controlled return to form that brings Wuhu Island to life in crisp 4K. Despite a somewhat modest sport selection at launch, its engaging single-player Island Crown mode, clever Joy-Con 2 features, and accessible local co-op make it an absolute must-play for families and motion-gaming fans alike.
After the stumbling start of its predecessor, it's nice to see the series back on track in Nintendo Switch Sports Resort. While some of the 12 different sports might feel a little too safe, most of the classics feel better than they've ever been, and the newbies surprise and delight with some classic Nintendo intuition. Revamped customisation options and a surprising amount of single-player content both feel like open goals, but they also provide a great excuse to keep playing, even once the party is over. This just might be the Nintendo Sports series at its best.Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got a shoulder joint in desperate need of icing.
Nintendo Switch Sports Resort is a great sports game with a variety of options to enjoy yourself in both online and offline play.
Nintendo Switch Sports Resort is a lot of fun, but it's also a game that's entirely removed from standard gaming. This isn't going to appeal to everyone, but I think it's a slam-dunk for those that have kids who want to get involved, or people who want a convenient way to get themselves moving just a little bit more, even if you're unlikely to be working up a sweat. It's a lot of fun, but it's also a game that's largely more of the same, so knowing that you'll like a few of the sports is a must.
As the 20th anniversary of Wii Sports approaches, Nintendo Switch Sports Resort delivers the fifth and finest iteration of the series to date. The 12 sports provide a good variety, and while some of them continue to have the same (deliberate) control quirks that have remained for two decades now, the overall package is rammed with content regardless of whether you enjoy local or online multiplayer, or prefer to play alone.
Nintendo Switch Sports Resort proves that the legacy of the celebrated Wii series is in safe hands. Some sports offer fun, depth, and reasons to keep improving-while also feeling intuitive to play using the Joy-Con controllers-though it's a pity that others are less inspired.

Nintendo Switch Sports Resort is an excellent package of sports games.
We can guarantee that minigames as immediate, engaging, and fun as those in the Sports series and Nintendo Switch Sports Resort, specifically, are hard to come by.

If you've played one of Nintendo's Sports or Sports Resort games before, whether on Wii or not, this collection isn't likely to excite or inspire as it's all, by now, well worn territory-even if bowling is still a clear standout. Efforts to expand the experience with free roam feel rather strange, and the online helping and infrastructure doesn't feel robust enough to keep the attention of players, or families, when the console has better party options.
Nintendo Switch Sports Resort remains as fun and innovative as seventh generation predecessor and even more reason to make the Switch to the new system.
A decent amount of content and the games, while varying in quality, are as fun as ever if lacking in depth. Still an experience that depends on how many enthusiastic friends you have around, unless you get hooked on the online mode.

Nintendo Switch Sports Resort is a highly enjoyable party game that truly shines when played with family or friends. Nintendo has put together a diverse range of events, and the excellent precision of the Joy-Con controllers ensures that activities like archery, boxing, bowling - and even a simple game of thumb wrestling - can deliver plenty of excitement.

Nintendo Switch Sports Resort is an interesting evolution of the formula. It introduces some interesting new features, and while it stumbles with a few of its ideas, it manages to preserve and build upon what makes this franchise absurdly fun to play.

Nintendo Switch Sports Resort has so many excellent sports games that are exceptionally fun whether you're playing solo or with chums and it specifically makes local multiplayer a blast and with such delightful sights and sounds that bring it all together. 🏅
Switch Sports Resort isn’t going to successfully recreate that unique feeling Wii Sports gave you. It is a fantastic game, though, and everything that a Wii Sports successor on the Switch 2 needs to be.
